I understand that it can only turn the WIFI on or off to the Playstation. The problem is that I turned the WIFI off to the Playstation from the ap. Now the Playstation does not appear on the ap. There is no way for me to turn the WIFI back on. How do I get the ap to recognize the Playstation again?
